Adidas Ace Zones 2015-2016 Goalkeeper Gloves Released
May 28, 2015, by Chris
The new Adidas Ace Zones 2015 Goalkeeper Gloves are Adidas' all-new goalkeeper gloves. Set to be debuted in the 2015 UEFA Champions League Final in Berlin on June 6 2015, the new Adidas Ace Zones Goalkeeper Gloves replace the Adidas Predator Zones.
On 4 March 2015, Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas was spotted wearing a blacked-out version of the new Adidas Ace 15.1 2015-2016 Soccer Boots and a totally new blackout pair of new Adidas Goalkeeper Gloves - the new Adidas Ace Zones 2015-2016 Soccer Goalkeeper Gloves.
Adidas Ace Zones - Solar Yellow / Black
These are the Adidas Ace Zones Ultimate 2015-2016 Goalkeeper Gloves.
The new Black / Yellow Adidas Predator Zones goalkeeper gloves take inspiration from the design of the brand new Adidas Ace 15.1 Football Boots with a distinctive honeycomb structure in the punching zone of the gloves. The honeycomb structure in the punching zone is designed for additional grip with maximum force and flexibility.
Various features of the new Adidas Ace Goalkeeper Gloves remain unchanged in comparison to the previous Adidas Predator Zones Goalkeeper Gloves. This is also the reason why Iker Casillas was the only goalkeeper to test the new Adidas Ace Zones Goalkeeper Gloves.
The grip zone of the Adidas Ace 2015-2016 Goalkeeper Gloves is the same used for the Adidas Predator Zones gloves, and the ever-important cut of the Adidas Ace Goalkeeper Gloves also remains unchanged from the Predator Zones.
Adidas introduces a brand new bandage, designed to perfectly fit most people's wrists for the three top versions of the Adidas Ace Zones Goalkeeper Gloves.
Adidas will offer three different yet similar pro versions of the Adidas Ace Zones Goalkeeper Gloves: The Adidas Ace Zones Ultimate Goalkeeper Gloves (180 Euro) are the best version with a interchangeable wrist control and Fingersave, the Adidas Ace Zones Fingersave Allround 120 (Euro) with Fingersave technology and the Adidas Ace Zones Pro without Fingersave (90 Euro).
Adidas sponsored goalkeepers such as Manuel Neuer, Iker Casillas, David de Gea and Marc-André ter Stegen will sport the new black / yellow Adidas Ace Goalkeeper will wear the new Adidas Ace Goalkeeper Gloves from early June 2015. Marc-André ter Stegen will debut the new Adidas Ace Goalkeeper Gloves in the 2015 UEFA Champions Final.
Not Unique: Inter Milan 26-27 Champions League Kit Font Is Identical to Barcelona's
While the Nerazzurri introduced a dedicated cup font for their European campaign in the UEFA Champions League, the typeface is actually not exclusive to the Italian club. It is completely identical to the custom font introduced by FC Barcelona on their own 26-27 third kit.
Barcelona officially presented the typography in August alongside their third kit, sporting an angular, blocky, and squared-off aesthetic that contrasts with the curved, art-inspired font used on their home and away shirts. For Inter's 1990s-inspired Iron Ore grey third jersey, Nike used the exact same font set. The only differences are the color scheme - Speed Yellow with a subtle blue outline for Inter compared to deep navy for Barcelona - and the club crest stamped at the bottom of the numbers.
Inter Milan have traditionally stuck with the standard Serie A league font even in European fixtures, so the appearance of a bespoke Champions League typeface on their third kit caught plenty of attention. However, it seems Nike chose to streamline the design across their elite roster rather than creating a truly unique typography for each club.
FC Bourg-Péronnas 26-27 Away Kit Released
French Championnat National club Football Bourg-en-Bresse Péronnas 01 has officially launched its new away kit for the 26-27 campaign. Produced by Danish brand Hummel, the new design follows the earlier release of the team's home shirt.
The Hummel FBBP 01 26-27 away jersey is built on a clean white base and highlighted by an abstract, contour-like linework pattern flowing across the torso in subtle pink and orange hues. A traditional polo collar gives the shirt a refined aesthetic, accompanied by Hummel's signature black chevrons across the shoulders and vibrant contrast trim around the sleeve cuffs.
White shorts and matching white socks round out the full Bourg-en-Bresse Péronnas 26-27 away uniform.
Zulte Waregem Women 26-27 Away Kit Released
Belgian club SV Zulte Waregem and supplier Patrick have unveiled a bespoke 26-27 away kit created exclusively for the women's team. Marking the first time the women's side receives a completely independent design separate from the men's kit, the shirt features a light pink base paired with dark green raglan sleeves and trim. Subtle tonal floral illustrations run across the body, incorporating jasmine, alstroemeria, violet, and gladiolus inspired by player and youth academy drawings to represent friendship, trust, and strength, with dark green shorts and light pink socks rounding off the full strip.
